River Breaks through Sand Berm - Before, During and After
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 січ 2020
- This video is a follow up to many of the concerns about the previous river video we posted. We had many complaints from people that were not familiar with the water cycle of this stream. What people do not understand is that this river dams up and fills with salt water during large tide fluctuations. It is a common occurrence for the river to break out in to the ocean whether people dig it out or not.
This is also the first video I have ever edited for Skid Kids. I hope this edit gives people a better understanding of the creek and how often it breaks in to the ocean during the winter. There are future restoration plans for this creek which will hopefully improve the water quality of the stream. It is very concerning that certain species of fish that once lived in this stream do not exist in it anymore. In fact there are little to no fish left in this stream at all, and at one point in time Salmon used to spawn here. Unfortunately this is a trend for many watersheds in California and other heavily developed areas. The water in this creek, whether it is polluted or not, will make its way to the ocean. In my opinion, the only way to fix the issue is to begin restoration in several locations up stream.
A majority of footage comes from my friends channel @thisismov

UA-cam is getting way too comfortable with these double ads
Yo is it just me or does the time on the fuckin ads take waaaaaay longer than the 5 sec it says. It's as if they purposely slow down the timer.
@@Refr619 it's in words
@@Refr619 7-8 sec. Honestly...
...and when they don't give you the option to skip the first one so you have to watch the second one.
If you press the i next to the time and select “stop seeing this ad” then hit submit it should skip ads
I kept waiting for a kayaker to come from under the bridge, and head out to sea.
Morticus he would actually get stuck in there because of the stream and the water flowing over making it go in circles basically, forgot the name but it’s actually one of the most dangerous things with small dams too. It’s like a kayaker’s kryptonite/worst nighmare cuz theyll just tip over snd keep doing that until they get out (not common) or die :/ (very likely)
Lmfaooooooooooo XD
"It do go down"
@@sennadehond3821 Hydraulic jump I believe, the current there is very strong.
i was thinking "i would be the cheeky asshole riding an intertube down that shit...over and over..." mostly because... it would be a laugh and.... looks like it would be a bit of a ride/rush as well ....
i was waiting for somebody to just jump in and ride it out.. :P
This must make the lifeguards hella nervous.
That’s why they say it’s illegal so they aren’t liable
I'm pretty sure they destroyed that. I'm wondering about that pond if they just drained it or made it befome one with the ocean
It happens every day, just some days are better than others. Tidal shift causes it. Seems like you could make a lot of electricity with a turbine and a huge tidal pool.
@@michaelpugh2617 its not illegal. Its illegal to cause it and not let it happen by nature.
@@dr_kellogg ur not allowed to start it or to surf it. Either way they did both
The ducks on the river be like: tf they doin' over there
is that legal?
@@sidddevtara2990 no
@@sidddevtara2990 Pretty sure it's a grey area when it comes to rivers like this that quite frequently get cut off to the ocean by sand bars. The river will breach it's self eventually anyway and it doesn't take very long before the sand bar is restored by the tide. I think the reason it's a grey area is that it's a small lagoon and it's not drastically changing the path of the river. Governments and councils will even breach these to manage river levels and flood risks.
I love how humans have been to the Moon but we're still awed by some water spilling into some more water.
Kinda gives ya weird vibes, doesn't it?
@@ronaldshank7589 Yeah it's just fascinating. I have no idea why, it simply is. Amazing and exciting.
the average human doesn’t go to the moon though
Nothing compares to the POWER of Nature 😉

@@c7lton143 What's ''boomer'' about this comment?
@@moving.quotes yeah, plus it's illegal almost everywhere. Breaking this by hand like the kids did avoids the natural process which can have huge environmental impacts.
Two ducks in the river-

Duck two: It don’t go down
Duck one: it do go down

@@dunruden9720 a shit comment.
This was an annual event in the small community I grew up in on the shore of Lake Michigan. Our community was at the mouth of a minor river that emptied into the big lake. Every winter, the storms would close off the mouth of the river with ice and sand. Every spring, after the ice had thawed, we would dig a channel to reopen the river in the very same way as they did here. But once opened, the mouth of our small river remained opened until winter returned.
Cool.

You have palm trees there?
@@duanenash9474 it "was"?
Nice! where is this at?
@@QuackSuperStar Don't know where the video was taken. But we were Port Sheldon, MI. River was too small to be a decent port, unlike the Grand River in Grand Haven or the Macatawa River in Holland.
when post 10 goes to the beach
He's done that: ua-cam.com/video/RNxQkNaNtU4/v-deo.html

Parents: "Ok kids have fun"
First I thought, this lady is pretty slick..then I realised..

@@QueenDaenerysTargaryen Simple enough if you do not read the comment too quickly. Eustace wrote that he did not like it, when the video prevented him from looking at the adverts. It's ironic, he meant he did not like it when all these ads prevent him from looking at videos.
I like watching the sand get swept away. I find that sort of speedy erosion very satisfying to watch. Like when you put a mud ball into a shallow ditch after a rainstorm and the water eats away at it.

@@Qu9MC Look at joogsquad, literal embodiment of this comment
No, no one's ever talked about how good Blair is! Everyone's trying to keep it a secret.
This really interests me- look at all the many rivers in Northumbria (UK) heading East and suddenly turning South when they hit the North Sea, blocked and diverted by massive bars on a really massive scale after the end of the last ice age. Major geological stuff happened.
Here a guy starts it off with a cane, then a foot.
And then people turn up with surf boards. Way to go dude!
Bu videoyu sadece ben hayranlıkla izlemiyorum benim gibi milyonlarca insan izliyor devamı gelsin ama su bitene kadar
the old lad as the young one seams to really enjoys settin free the water.
it's fascinating how ot got this far from just dogging a little canal
Most of the rivers along California's coast are seasonally closed by sand bars or dunes. We don't have year round precipitation to create strong year long flow and so the mouths naturally dam up. A lot of the fish that live in these rivers are used to this and for fish that are born in rivers and spend their adulthood in the sea, these lagoons that form are waiting rooms of a sort for them. The only rivers that don't have seasonally impounded mouths are really the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers which open into deltas, and the urban rivers with mouths prevented from damming up with sand like the Los Angeles and San Diego rivers.
Incredible vid. I travle out to Laguna Beach a lot. Hopefully next time I'll run into you Blair. Skimboarding is the best!
Wow man, what a gift. That must have been heaps of fun, looked like a great day for everyone.
The quick time lapse is so cool to watch. It's crazy to see how far the water drives into the ocean
Man oh man...That blond haired dude...“Oh brah it’s just like, dude, you get the best barrels ever dude, it’s just like, you pull in, and you just get spit right out of them, and you just drop in, and you just smack the lip - ‘whupah!’ - drop down - ‘snbaaaaah’ - and then after that, you just drop in and ride the barrel and get pitted, so pitted. Like that.”
it's like he's the human version of the turtle dad from Finding Nemo.
😂😂😂
I thought it was a cute female.
@@uK8cvPAq BRAHHHH!
Jay Gee Exactly what I thought! 👍🤣
Why do I feel the urge to put a waterwheel in that?
Would like to build a hydrodam on that section, imagine how much power it could produce for the local.
I was feeling the same. How much energy could you get from that
There are those that see enjoyment from this and those that see potential power
Martin XY On sand? It wouldn’t end out very well without stable ground, the seepage that goes under the dam will move the dam and make everything go falling down. At least it’s just into the ocean and not a city or town
no dude, don't build a power plant on my playground, lol.
Watching water flow is amazing!
Would agree!
"It's on" Wooo, yeah Skid Kids, it's ON! 🎈👌🏼
Would be fun to go tubing from the river through to the beach
Fr that would be dope
You don't have explain to me, I grew up in the area and bodysurfed and surfed Aliso regularly after school in the 80's. Its a natural occurrence that happens almost everyday in the winter. Never rode the standing wave but watched it a lot. The lifeguards were pretty serious about it back then, nobody skimmed it like you do now. Victoria Skimboards was just getting started in those days. I like the sandbar shots at the end. 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Oh okay, delete the video, this guy doesn't need it explained to him
Those feelings when you’re inside the wave is unforgettable 👌👌
It’s on! 😂. That guy is hilarious. I appreciate the intro-well done and great follow up to the last video.
I love that people will get upset about anything, even tides.
WHAT'S *THAT* SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!? :D
Thor really knows how to surf.
The long haired dude,man he's so fluid I got goose bumps!✌
The river wave is so sick!!! Love the content blair
Thanks Charly. The high tides at the beginning of the month made it break almost daily.
Did they just drain a river?!?
Radical my dudes, stay awesome !
Who else loves watching that little kid with the pink wet soot surf
He's the funniest. little dude charges!
3:21 fish jump
wetsuit
how you are sure is not a girl?
Because we can not see a bra from behind? but at that age is not really needed.
It's a girl, toof
if i was a lifeguard/water-physics-expert, i would probably be afraid of the speed of the water and would tell the people to be careful and to not go in the water.
Unreal, no wonder there is good banks out front.
Great show Kids.
This video is the complete definition of "GNARLY DUDE"!!!!
Don't know why most of the people in the other video of this thought this was illegal there's a lifeguard watching them if it was he'd be totally telling them not to use this and calling the police or some sort of authority to block the river path to people. Leave the guys alone what's done is done and they are having fun. Totally miss the beach though! 🙃😔
for the record it is illegal to dig rivers out into oceans even though it happens naturally. pretty sure that was actually in the other vids description. these guys wait as long as possible anyways so its filled to the brim with water before they dig it out though so it isnt that far off what would occur naturally. and regardless im all for it shit looks fun af lol
In his other video he stated that it was illegal. Even though the river will break naturally but if you try to dig it out it still illegal.
It's barely illegal, because it happens naturally every day
“What’s done is done” that’s the stupidest shit I’ve heard in a while 🤦🏻♂️
@@jordanmiller5357 Well it's a stupid law, I can get diverting a river that could be dangerous, but helping one that will break on it's own, making that illegal just stupid overreach by bureaucrats, fuck'em.
Did that kid really start that? Lol
K G no he didnt check the other video they made it by themselves
Florida KG, yes the kid did start that flow by digging the bank away.. and Personally I think someone should have been prosecuted for doing that...
☝️ found the bootlicking statist ☝️
@@briantones5993 Jawohl herr obersturmführer.
@@briantones5993 relax mr easily offended. Even if nobody digs it out it will happen naturally.
Did you watch till the end where they show how the beach repairs itself within a day?
So cool. Everyone just having fun!
Because of the urban storm water contamination risk, assisting the berm break cycle is actually a good thing, as it helps to flush out the system, reducing the chances of toxic levels causing algal blooms and fish deaths.
So the people that were surfing were surfing in doodoo water? That doesn't seem very healthy it looked fun though.
Well you also surf in doodoo water in the ocean😂
Where do u see doodle water?
The brown color probably just comes from the sediment in the water
depends on if there's farms along the creek that have animal feces running off into it otherwise it's primarily road/property runoff.
just wait until you find out what is in the ocean
so this is SO common as to have it viewed almost as a 'Snow Day' where you go out and enjoy the 'Dam break'?
I have seen dozens of videos like this but this one is most informative, thorough and fun. Hell this one is the only one which has surfers. Either Americans have lot of free time or they are just good at what they do. Either way I'm jealous.
thank you for correcting us, we did not know these details... good one.
Yeah killing it Blair. That standing left forming super sick. I found myself yelling at my phone "someone get it" 💩🌊👏🤙
hahaha thats epic! that wave was so steep i was worried i was going to pearl on my skim
If they stop building in Aliso maybe the fish would stand a chance.-GSH
Super river wave Blair and a nice shore break 🏄🏼♂️👏🐬
That's crazy how fast it comes back!
Two things
1) how surfers have the ability of make everything look easy
2) gravity seems to not exist in this place
The force from the upward motion of the water in the standing wave counteracts the force of gravity.
And it all started with a man with a cane.
and a kid with a toy shovel!
Well the old man was showing how water flows and the kid was digging for treasure
I have really enjoyed some of your videos Skid Kids and this video was so good you just got another subscriber!
That little grom in the pink suit was charging it! 🤙🏽🤙🏽
He is 9 years old too! every wave is head high for the kid
I'd love to raft that last back section of big waves on the river huge class 5 rapids
I though they were more 3s or 4s
@@cyoz2723 Yeah, gotta go with strong threes, weak fours. Still, that hydraulic!
Watching your videos makes me miss living by the beach. I went to UCSB for environmental studies but never got into surfing. I miss skating by the beach though. Now I build water treatment systems that discharge to storm drains or creeks that would eventually drain into rives like this one or straight into the SF Bay.
14:12 that base guitarist is just killing it
I love the way the rails on your blairacuda look, is that cosmetic or something else??
What board would you recommend for skimming smaller farther out waves? I’d like to skim in Tofino on Vancouver island
I hear the exile dude cruise is good for that but I could be wrong
@@ezraboren2069 yeah it's really good or the zap rocketfish is really good too
Ezra Boren that’s what I was thinking
Dude cruise is definitely a good call!
Skid Kids thanks!
Does that cycle repeat with every cycle of low and high tide? Or are there more variables that makes it rarer?
It's a seasonal phenomenon. At low river water levels the mouth gets clogged, at some point, enhanced by rainfall the dam breaks.
A-freaking-mazing footage! Thanks for sharing!!
This looks like a perfect day ^_^ Thanks for sharing!
Who randomly just got this in your recommendation
Me
𝕐𝔼𝕊
Me... and it's killer, dude...killer! Love it!
Every time the guy with long hair starts surfing the river hears boss music
the guy in the front sounds like that one really cool uncle you have
You guys make an old skimrat smile!!!! :)
I wanna see em skim board with the current and hit a ripple like a jump.
So based off the sign everyone was surfing in bird poop that day 🤙🏻
It ain't bird poop duuuude!!!!
Sick rides guys. I used to love riding river mouth waves with nice shallow banks. I'm loving all of your clips.
that grommet with the skimboard was on point
Who's hyped for the boog skim
I guess there are a select few in stores already. The thing is looking sick
I so wanna get 1!! ill be on the look out! thx blair for the input on that sick board!!
Mark Twain described how people used to do that to the Mississippi River. If you owned a riverboat landing you were in fat city. If you lived inland from a meander bend you could cut a small ditch across the "neck" when nobody was looking and within hours your neighbor's landing was stranded miles from the channel and YOU owned a riverboat landing.
Getting caught digging a ditch would end with you dangling by your neck. Literally. It was a capital offense in the court of public opinion.
That last hydraulic is a beast at times!
these are so fun to ride but not when you almost die in them. i live in Hawaii and it was raining heavy for almost 2 days straight me and my friends know one of our local rivers do this so we grabbed our boards and headed out to the beach. i had never seen it so massive, like this but bigger we were having fun until one of my friends got held down for almost 1 minute. one of my friends jumped in and grabbed him from it.
1:58. You got denied hard😂😂
Kid did not like me haha
Skid Kids 😂😂😂
Stranger danger
Kids smart lol he like you not funna lil bro me hahaha we all know who the big bro was in that shot 🤣
I feel like this would be a nice spot to learn how to surf in. Ever since I saw people river surfing in Munich while I was on a trip there, I've wanted to learn surfing. Sadly where I live in the mid-west there isn't a place around here that does tht.
Every video is a banger great edit the song at the end was dope too
They can do it everyday. That's so awesome!
0:30. Carl from caddy shack explains it all.
What kind of boards are those that they are using to skim/boogie/surf?
Skim boards pretty sure
Why is it so satisfying to watch this? Water is neat.
Mother nature heals it self back 🥰
Was wondering what Spicori was doing these days.
This is amazing. The whole time I’m watching and wondering how you can get away with destroying the sand berm like that and you’re not being arrested. I had no idea an less than 24 hrs it would repair itself. I just thought the River will be empty, now what? 😳 It would be nice, somehow, to show something on the front end about the “After”. I almost didn’t see “the next day”, and wouldn’t believe it if I hadn’t.
PS: Can you give me, like an hour video, similar to the 2 minutes from 10:50 to the 12:50 mark? With the same music, too. Just beautiful, and peaceful.
Loved the last timelapse breaking by humans and rebuilt by nature❤️👍👍👍
What a sweet lil spot!
How often can they do this
Everyday, watch till the end.
Me and the boys: dig a big hole at the beach
These boys: *science*
Also these boys: E D U C A T
Can't wait for another River Breaks through Sand video
If you look at the thumbnail it looks like a barrel/wave were the water flows through
The warning signs don't mention how fresh water pouring into the ocean also attracts sharks.
Reason for releasing fresh drinking water?????
@@unbiasedhuman1659 the water is clearly not drinking water lol
Shark tastes good.
@@denisdrozdek3021 why??? But The water is coming from small river.
Unbiased Human: Storm water from the suburbs isn’t safe to drink because of what it comes into contact with before it reaches the creek, i.e, roads and pavements, etc.
Surfing is way harder than it looks. These guys are making it look so easy.
This whole series keeps me happy🌊💙
That looks like so much fun
I'm getting nothing but good vibes from this video.
People who say this is bad never heard of the water cycle
... and people who say THAT have never smelled Aliso Creek.
This isn’t quite the water cycle but I know what you mean.
